"They destroyed our defense lines and our camp...it only took less than a quarter of an hour..."
"General Leonis asked me to rush out and report the news. The camp will be gone soon."
"I escaped from being chased by a group of wolf riders..."
…
"Where is your honor? Damn it! You should go back and fight and die on the battlefield. At least you are not a coward!"
"Forget it, Lando, he did the right thing. Soldiers should obey orders. It was Leonis who asked him to come out and report the news."
In the Ice and Snow Winter Palace, the escaped guards reported the battle situation on the front line to Catalina tremblingly. His words were full of nervousness and uneasiness, despair crept onto his face, and his eyes were as if he had seen a ghost, and he could not return to his natural state for a long time.
.
Lando's roar and rebuke made Catalina stop her, and her meaningful reply echoed in the hall. Everyone knew what the queen wanted. What she wanted was loyalty and obedience. Obey orders, even if you were a slave.
Cowards deserve it too.
"Okay, soldier, go down. Go to the Military Affairs Office to rest. Sir Matlow will arrange a new job for you. You will report to the new legion. Remember, what you say here cannot be revealed.
Otherwise, you know the consequences."
Catalina said, waving her hand to signal the soldiers to go down first. She had important matters to discuss with the ministers around her.
After the soldiers left, a strange atmosphere filled the hall. The dwarves were absolutely right about the greenskin invasion. This was a disaster that could destroy civilization. Kislev should have taken it seriously and sent out again.
The elite of the kingdom, stop the greenskins.
However... everyone knows that the Erengrad rebellion has just ended. Three years have not been able to restore the kingdom to its original strength. But now, a new threat is imminent. It is at the doorstep, and the Legion is being recruited again.
It requires a lot of funds, which will undoubtedly make Kislev even worse for the already hungry and barren country.
Catalina was thinking, everyone was thinking. Their mood would not be much better than that soldier. The air was filled with the smell of death. Catalina thought of the worst plan, she could summon her undead army,
Stopping the greenskin invasion in Kislev. However, this legion has already appeared once. Do you want the people to believe that this is a coincidence again? The Ice Queen frowned deeply for the first time.
…
"Have you heard? The Queen is going to start a war again."
"Yeah, I know. The greenskins are coming, thousands of them."
In the corner of the city of Kislev, the nobles gathered together and whispered in private. The northern snow country of Kislev was going to war with foreign enemies again. This was not unusual for this country on the border of the old world. However,
, the continuous fierce wars have exhausted the last bit of financial resources in this originally poor country. After a large number of innocent middle class people were wiped out, the Snow Queen could not think of a better way to raise money. She could increase the tax rate, but
The people can no longer live happily. If the pressure is too great, it may not require an invasion from foreign enemies, and the entire Kislev will be in chaos. The kingdom, which is still strong on the surface, is already riddled with holes.
Except for the big nobles who still have their families, the other small nobles are in panic all the time. Not to mention the people, who only want food and clothing.
"Alas, there is no extra capital for the Queen to squander. It is said that the national treasury has been in deficit for a long time, and it still cannot be replenished."
"So you think even we are in danger?"
"It's not that...if the queen dares to attack us, half of the nobles in the country will resist. Katerina dare not do this. She must consider the consequences. We are just in Kislev and don't have our own corps. On the periphery
, which lord doesn’t have his own army? Which big noble doesn’t have his own mercenaries? If Catalina dares to do this, it will definitely cause greater chaos than the Erengrad incident. She doesn’t dare, I guarantee it. In addition, the Queen also has
Not all of them may be hers..."
"You and I have to cooperate. Some information has to be shared. At least those informants are no longer secrets, right?"
Under the pressure of the green-skinned army, everyone is in danger. When half of the small nobles in Kislev City were wiped out, the few remaining big families are also worried about the upcoming war. They are not only worried about
It is the invasion of orcs that will destroy their homes and the loss of their wealth.
Many people thought about the result. If Catalina wanted to fight this war, she would definitely need more funds. At that time, she asked them to borrow money. What should they do? Knowing that the government could no longer pay the interest and could not get the principal.
She's back. But who dares not to obey the queen's request for money? Moreover, the reason for asking for money this time is so high-sounding. It is to fight against the green-skinned army... As long as Mrs. Kisli is responsible, she has the responsibility to participate and pay if she has the money.
, if you have the strength to contribute, if you don’t have money, do you have to go to the battlefield in person?
…
Blackhammer Keep.
The town recruitment office was crowded with young people who were eager to sign up to join the army. It was like a grand rally. The young people who came to sign up to join the army were either energetic or full of confidence. From their enthusiastic faces, Rhodes saw it.
They are immature. It seems that no one in the whole world except themselves knows the horror of Iron Bark.
If Rhodes was confident about the last Norscan invasion, then the appearance of Ironhide this time was the one he was least sure of. Whether it was the army in the north or the Queen's army, it was impossible to compete with Ironhide's army.
The Legion competed head-on. But no one seemed to think so. On the contrary, they still chose to believe in their lords. They invested in this war with money and strength. Moreover, this time it was truly spontaneous and spontaneous. Many people
I didn't seize the opportunity last time, so I thought I would support my lord this time and support this war. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand that the scene was heated. This nationwide enthusiasm was spontaneous. Unlike the capital city of Kislev, the people
is forced to participate.
However, this time, Rhodes hoped that they would not be so enthusiastic. Because they had no idea what they were about to face next. For those smug young people, Rhodes could guarantee that once they encountered the main green-skinned force, they would be defeated in less than three days.
, they will cry to go home... But once they embark on the journey, how many people will not be able to come back until the last few? Just like the Erengrad rebellion, the troops of Blackhammer Castle stayed outside for a whole year.
But what can you do even if you know it? No one is worried about this. Only the dwarves who fled. They gathered together and talked about the disaster that happened not long ago, which they did not want to face again.
